This book was very intense. It is set in a city that is being overrun with ghosts. It has been this way for more than 50 years and one girl, Lucy Carlyle might be the only one that can stop them. Before she does though, she has to spend the night in the most haunted houses in England trying to stay alive. Will she make it out? Is she the one to rid the town of these horrible ghosts? The way this book answers these questions will have you screaming for more.
